After the completion of his medical study, Dr. Tatti, along with some of his friends, committed himself to social service by organizing free eye check up and health check up camps for the low income group. Dr. Tatti channelized the service oriented ideals of his grandfather by forming a Trust called the Shri B D Tatti (Annavaru) Memorial Charitable Trust in 1994.
